# 解压模拟器 vs POOLS™

The clearest difference is review sentiment: POOLS™ at 79% against 解压模拟器's 14%. POOLS™ also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 2). 解压模拟器's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. POOLS™ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 解压模拟器 asks for nothing beyond the download.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: POOLS™ has 1.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 14% of 解压模拟器's written reviews are positive against 79% of POOLS™'s.
